Volume 5 The Mystery of Life_Chapter 119 I Live and He Dies
Uncle Wan suddenly lowered his voice, and his expression was solemn, and he said something big, my spirit suddenly became nervous, and I unconsciously lowered my voice, and asked nervously, "What's the big deal?" ”
Uncle Wan glanced out the window, Shi Xiaonan was still wandering back and forth outside, his expression was very anxious, and he glanced into the room from time to time. I smiled at her and signaled that I was fine, Shi Xiaonan looked at me with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Uncle Wan, I don't know what the two of us are talking about inside.
After glancing out the window, Uncle Wan continued: "Didn't I say just now that I have seen Lin Xiao twice, the first time Lin Xiao was seriously injured, and the second time was before he molted. He tried his best to hide it, but I could smell him. This smell is unforgettable to me, and I can't forget it. I'm going to say that this is the second time he saw me. ”
Uncle Wan solemnly mentioned the scene of Lin Xiao seeing him for the second time, there must be something very important for the second time, I didn't interrupt Uncle Wan's words, I just tensed my nerves and waited for him to continue.
"When Lin Xiao saw me, he said that he had something to entrust to me, and asked me to help him lead the skeleton army." Old Uncle Wan's tone was solemn, "I was subject to him and Zhuang Zeming at the time, so naturally I had to listen to him, over the years, I have been helping him manage the skeleton army, waiting for him to come to me." But after so many years, he hasn't come...... But, here you are. ”
I don't know what the hell is a skeleton army, it's an army of skeletons?
But I understand the meaning of Uncle Wan's last sentence, that is, Lin Xiao asked Uncle Wan to help him manage the skeleton army, Uncle Wan has been managing diligently for so many years, that is, he knows that Lin Xiao is very likely to come back, but he has waited for many years, not for Lin Xiao, but for me.
The army of skeletons left by Lin Xiao was actually intended to be handed over to me?
This is what Uncle Wan said about me!
But what I'm nervous about is that this time I came to Xiaogezhuang, in my opinion, it was purely random, but now it seems that our every step of the way seems to be within Lin Xiao's control.
How terrible!
When I thought about it, I was in a cold sweat on my back - even if that person used to be me, it made me feel cold!
After Uncle Wan finished speaking, I didn't speak rashly, and I didn't dare to ask about the Skeleton Army easily, otherwise Uncle Wan would definitely think that Lin Xiao and I had planned it a long time ago, so my efforts just now would soon be in vain!
I'll have to get around this sensitive issue and start somewhere else.
I hesitated for a moment and only asked a question related to me, "Uncle Wan, Zhuang Zeming used that medicine to control your molting, the purpose is to control you." But I've heard before that this kind of molt is equivalent to rebirth, and it will completely change the previous image. It's almost the secret to mastering immortality, so why would you want to stop molting? ”
That's what I'm most concerned about right now.
"Looks like you know a lot." Old Uncle Wan looked at me and said with a wry smile: "In this world, who is not afraid of death? How many people don't want eternal life? But you don't know how much this molting costs for immortality! People are people, but if people shed their skin like snakes, not everyone can endure that kind of pain. You're right, every time you change your skin, you're reborn, but do you know that after changing your skin, your previous memories are completely erased? ”
Molting actually erases memories?
I've never heard of this question before!
Seeing that I was horrified, Uncle Wan also knew that I hadn't heard of it, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "People who want to live forever are generally people who covet this world, whether they are greedy for the glory and wealth of this world or beautiful women, they all keep the memory of this world." Once you have no memory, like a newborn baby, then what's the point of being reborn! But after molting, there is no such memory, do you say that it is painful or not? ”
My whole body trembled uncontrollably.
I also have this smell of medicine, and my current symptoms are the symptoms of molting, and if I molt, I will not remember anything!
Even before I changed, I refused to forget my relatives and friends, not to mention now, I can't lose my memory!
"Uncle Wan, you must have thought of something, right? You've figured out a way to not lose your memory even if you molt, don't you? I couldn't wait to ask this sentence, but my voice trembled even more.
I didn't know what to be afraid of for a long time.
But now, I'm scared to the extreme!
Uncle Wan's eyes showed a trace of pity, and he habitually wanted to smoke a cigarette pouch, but after taking a puff, he found that there was no tobacco in the cigarette pouch pot, he knocked on the upper of his shoe with the cigarette pouch pot, nodded and said: "In this world, all things are born and restrain each other, just like life and death, molting can bring new life, but it can erase memories." But there is one thing that can be restrained, and that is ...... Water before the soul! ”
The water in front of the soul actually has this effect!
Hope swelled in my heart!
"The reason why Zhuang Zeming turned me like this is because of the water in front of my soul. If I don't want to lose my memory, I must always work hard to refine the soul water; If I refine the water before the soul, he can get it for nothing. Uncle Wan finally lit the cigarette pouch and took a hard puff, and the spicy smell of smoke suddenly filled the room again, "Zhuang Zeming has been reborn, and he also needs soul water." Otherwise, if he wants to be reborn once, he will forget all his previous ambitions, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? ”
When Uncle Wan mentioned Zhuang Zeming, his tone was always with a hint of mockery.
I finally understood that the rebirth of hunchbacked people from generation to generation is not as Jiang Meili said, nor is it reincarnation, but is controlled by medicine. In this way, the rebirth of generation after generation will ensure that the power of the hunchback man will never be extinguished!
It's a terrible way of hiding and circulating.
"Then later, did Uncle Wan find a way to delay or stop molting, so that he didn't have to worry about losing his memory when molting?" I finally got to the point.
Uncle Wan's hand on the cigarette pouch and pot slammed suddenly, and then nodded, "The joy of the boudoir can be delayed." Come to think of it, I haven't molted in over fifty years. ”
The joy of the boudoir can delay molting, how to delay it, but Uncle Wan didn't say it, just a sentence, and I can't ask in detail, after all, this kind of thing is too secretive, and I can't open my mouth.
"It's not torture for me." Uncle Wan took another puff of his cigarette, "God knows, how I have come over for so many years, tortured all day long, but there is no way to die." ”
The atmosphere in the room was instantly suppressed again.
I was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "Uncle Wan, isn't it true that you used the soul water that Zhang Yiwei handed over to us?" ”
Uncle Wan's action of smoking a cigarette pouch suddenly stopped.
I waited patiently for his response.
"Looks like you're a lot smarter than I thought." After being silent for a moment, Old Uncle Wan laughed at himself, "Although you don't look like Lin Xiao, you are as smart...... That's right, what I gave you is not really soul water, it's just a porcelain bottle. ”
I laughed, "It's not that I'm smart, if Uncle Wan is willing to give the real soul water, you don't have to go to great lengths to use Zhang Yiwei to act in this scene." ”
Old Uncle Wan was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "Also, I took such a lot of pains to make you believe that the soul water you took away was real." I'll get you off as soon as possible, and I'll be able to sleep in peace. ”
I nodded, "Uncle Wan, you are human nature, if I were you, I would do the same." I have come to beg you, not for myself, but for the sake of my brother's life, who needs this soul to live. If Uncle Wan is willing to give the soul water, we should be grateful. But if you refuse to give it, Uncle Wan, we won't force it, so we can only think of other ways. ”
Old Uncle Wan was silent.
After a moment of silence, he looked at me curiously, "There are not many people in this world who know the soul water, how do you know this soul water, and you also know what I have in my hand?" ”
I didn't hide it, how the Golden Palace Dragon died, and how the soul was stored at the junction of yin and yang, I probably told Uncle Wan, except for some things that can't be explained, what I said is basically the truth.
"Chongming?" Uncle Wan's eyes widened suddenly, "You actually saw Chongming, and it was willing to help you, it was really providential." If I don't give you soul water, wouldn't it be against the will of heaven? ”
This time, Uncle Wan directly knocked off the tobacco in the cigarette pouch pot, stood up and groped around for a while, then took out a small porcelain bottle and solemnly handed it to me, "This is the water in front of the soul, this amount can only save one person...... Young man, you have to think about what to do, whether to save your brother or to save yourself. ”
My body shook again.
Old Uncle Wan here, there is actually only a bottle of soul water, if I save the Golden Palace Dragon, I may lose my memory; If you save me, the Golden Palace Dragon will die!
I smiled bitterly, is this God testing me?
"Uncle Wan, you just said that there are some points that need to be kept in mind to save people with this soul water, you say it, I have to remember it, so as not to make a mistake." I didn't respond positively to Uncle Wan's words, but just asked him solemnly.
Old Uncle Wan sighed softly, "This soul water is taken from the ghost of the dying person's soul when he leaves, and it takes several years to transform into water, which is extremely rare, so you must be very careful when using it, because a bottle is hard to find; Second, because the soul leaves the body and is called back with the water in front of the soul, there will be a period of discomfort, or there will be an accident, so try to save people at midnight. The rest, it depends on fate. ”
I kept what Uncle Wan said in my heart, and then carefully put the water in front of my soul in a close place, and solemnly thanked him, "Uncle Wan, thank you." ”
"You're not going to think about it again?" Old Uncle Wan looked at me with compassion in his eyes, "If you knew how painful molting is, maybe you would change your mind now." ”
I shook my head, "This brother has given me a new life, I have been thinking about how to repay him, and now that I have the opportunity, I must not miss it." Uncle Wan, I know that you are for my good, but if I save myself, even if I can still live, it will be almost like death. ”
